Are silicone injections the best method at this time for lip augmentation?

Question:
I would like shapelier lips. I am not interested in surgery at this time, but I am leery of silicone injections. Are silicone injections the best method at this time for lip augmentation?

Answer:
Silicone injections of the lips are not considered standard care. Such a use of medical silicone is very far off label and could also be interpreted as illegal based on legislation that grew out of silicone disasters of the 50’s and 60’s. Hyaluronic acid injections of the lips are off label but considered main stream methods for augmenting lips.
